1037. Valid Boomerang

A boomerang is a set of 3 points that are all distinct and not in a straight line.

Given a list of three points in the plane, return whether these points are a boomerang.

Example 1:

Input: [[1,1],[2,3],[3,2]] Output: true

Example 2:

Input: [[1,1],[2,2],[3,3]] Output: false

Note: 1.points.length == 3 2.points[i].length == 2

3.0 <= points[i][j] <= 100

思路

拿到题目先画图

我们来理解题意，首先回旋镖的意思见回旋镖

根据题意，三个点组成两条直线，两条直线需要有一定的夹角，能组成三角形就满足条件。

那反过来，如果两条直线斜率相同，那就不能组成三角形。

解法：

斜率 k = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

伪代码:

return K(AB) != K(BC)

代码：

return (points[1][1]-points[0][1]) / (points[1][0]-points[0][0]) != (points[2][1]-points[1][1]) / (points[2][0]-points[1][0]);

注意算斜率是除法，我们需要考虑除0的情况。两边同时乘以两个除数，把除法转换为乘法。

C++

class Solution { public: bool isBoomerang(vector<vector>& points) { return (points[1][1]-points[0][1]) * (points[2][0]-points[1][0]) != (points[2][1]-points[1][1]) * (points[1][0]-points[0][0]); } };

Rust

impl Solution { pub fn is_boomerang(points: Vec<Vec>) -> bool { return (points[1][1]-points[0][1]) * (points[2][0]-points[1][0]) != (points[2][1]-points[1][1]) * (points[1][0]-points[0][0]); } }
